The full list of winners of the Nobel Peace Prize is available at
http://www.nobel.no/eng_lau_list.html#90
The Peace Prize is awarded for contributions that work towards world
peace and human rights, not for scientific studies.  The topic you
refer to would come more under the prize for medicine.

The winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine are listed here:

You will note that there have never been more than three recipients in
any one year.

There is a fascinating book about the longevity of the islanders of
Okinawa. I highly recommend "The Okinawa Program."

THE NOBEL PRIZES --

"In the beginning, more than three prize winners could share a Nobel
Prize, although this was never practiced. Paragraph four of the
Statutes of the Nobel Foundation was amended in 1968, restricting the
number of prizewinners to only three. "
